The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ecology of plant speciation (2010, background): “Its evolution is strongly associated with unisexual flowers, loss of nectar and perianth, and small numbers of ovules (Friedman & Barrett, 2008).”
Assembling the Tree of the Monocotyledons: Plastome Sequence Phylogeny and Evolution of Poales1 (2010, background): “As predicted by several investigators and demon- strated across a wide sampling of angiosperms by Friedman and Barrett (2008), we found that animal pollination showed a significant correlation with floral showiness, flower size, floral sexuality, nectar pro- duction, and habitat openness (Table 1).”
Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, methodology): “Using a phylogenetic approach, Friedman & Barrett (2008) found no evidence that ecological conditions in extratropical regions favored the evolution of wind pollination.”
Phylogeny of the Caryophyllales Sensu Lato: Revisiting Hypotheses on Pollination Biology and Perianth Differentiation in the Core Caryophyllales (2009, background): “Friedman and Barrett (2008) demonstrate a strong correlation between the occurrence of open habitat and anemophily and provide support for the prevalence of anemophily in open habitats; however, this correlation may not necessarily be due to pollinator scarcity but rather to the selective advantage…”
